Dillon Makes Sensational Speech
in the Commons.
What Flourens Thinks Father Ryan
Arrested.

LONDON, March 2S.-In the house of
commons during the debate on the coercion
bill Mr.. Dillon made remarkable speech.
He said that this bill would never pass into
law. Irish cheers.) If lie believed that
the people of England were capable Of
sanctl0ning. the measure he would give UP
forever the hope of seeing the Irish and
English shake hands. The Irish people
would be slaves indeed if they submitted
to it. Either he would leave a
country where no Irishman could live un-
less he lived like slave. or, if the people
were willing, he would be proud and happy
to lead them in battle. Cheers. The
measure could only result in causing in
creased Reorganization and driving the peo-
pie back to the horrors of former years.
Cheers. Earl Spencer, believing his life
to be in danger, had the courage TO face the
people of Ireland like a man, but small
credit was due to the present government,
who did not know the dangers they were
facing. Cries of Oh, Oh, and
cheers. More miserable excuses on
which to found coercion had never
been heard. Mr.. Balfour had succeeded in
proving nothing but his own ignorance of
the country which he sought to govern
The sooner he quilted the better for Ireland
and for himself The government were
practically treating Irshmen like slaves.
They sought to root them out like vermin.
The government offered them the prospect
Of a favorable land purchase bill. If this
coercion bill passed neither land purchase
bill nor any ether Irish measure would live
to be accepted at the hands of the English
parliament

LONDON, March 2s.-A conference of
Liberal Unionists will be held at Devonshire
house on Thursday to consider the coercion
bill. An exchange of views In the lobby on
the bill disclosed the fact that several of the
Unionists disapproved the.measure, but the
mass of the party consider its provisions
not too stringent Lord Harrington and
Mr.. Chamberlain will give thorough sup
port to the whole proposals. The threat
ened detection Of Unionists will probably
not exceed ten votes, leaving the govern
ment still with a potent majority. The
Parnellites had an informal meeting and
united in denouncing what they termed the
atrOciouS character of the coercion bill.
The measure. they said, concealed
under its provisions, powers for
the extinction of the liberties
of the press, public meetings, free speech
and all individual rights. The Parnellites
disregard the threats of Mr.. Smith to con-
tinue the debate until the second reading of
the bill. They say that if the protraction
of the sitting results in test of physical
endurance. they will be ready for the strug-
gle. 1t is the opinion of many persons that
Mr.. Balfour's speech. which was of great
length. was weak, diffusive confused and
pointless. and that ON the first chance he
has had to show if he was capable of rising
for great occasion he has made notable
failure. Mr.. Parnell has postponed the
introduction of his amendment until he con-
suits with his colleagues

The Chicago Boodlers.
Snacial to the Globe

SpCClat W tuS NiopS.s
CHICAGO, March 2S.--The Doodle ward
ems have been asked to resign. Mr.. Frey.
who has had charge of the infirmary for a
number of years. has rendered his resigna-
ton, but the others will die before they re-
linQuish their grasp on the institutions
which they manage. The resolution asking
the indicted boodlers for their designations
was read this afternoon at the session of
the county board. Frey's resignation was
on hand and he gave up without murmur.
Varnell and McGarigle, however, know a
soft thing when they see it, and have
treated the request with the contempt of
graduated boodlers. 1t is believed, how
ever, that deal will be patched up between
members of the board 50 that those
in favor of dethroning the wardens will be
in the majority. Should such a move be
consummated the pay of the boodlers will
be stopped, and it is not likely that they
will want to work for nothing. The grand
jury devoted the entire day to listening to
evidence eliminating other boodlers, and it
is expected that a new batch of indictments
will be turned into court tomorrow. This
afternoon Warden Frey was eXcoriated by
Commissioner McCarty. The cause is the
formers disclosures regarding the gang to
the states attorney. Mccarthy fears an in
dictment. and he is of the opinion
that the warden implicated him in
some of the doings of the combine. The
end has not been reached by any means,

The trouble with Mr.. VAN WICK is that

sion, and not of the railroads, to interpret
the law. And judging from the complex
ION OF that commission, there is no immed-
late danger of the law being made obnox-
ious. What the people want is a fair trial
OF the law. They know that it is not
perfect measure, so they want its defects
brought out i'll order that the law may be
amended and perfected in the future.
And that is just what the commission will
have in view. The indications are that the
commission and the people are in harmony;
and as for the railroad companies, they will
have TO accept just such Interpretation as
is given to the law by those who are COM

WHAT USE Is IT.

That was an interesting race between the
Coronet and DaunteSS. The people of two
great nations stood on tiptOe eagerly watch
ing the race, and with breathless anxiety
awaiting the result. Now that it is over
Britain and America both draw sigh of
relief, and everybody says it turned out
just as they expected. 1t created great
international hub .bub. and yet nobody can
tell exactly what practical good resulted
from it. There is an impression that the
Coronet was the best built yacht of the two.
Suppose it was. Does that benefit the com
merce of the world? OF what use is yacht
anyhow except for pleasure purposes?
When we PROFOUND these questions to our
selves we are brought face to face with the
fact that this generation is wasting great
deal of energy for no practical purpose. If
the time and the money and the energy
which are wasted in boat racing and ball
playing and all the numberless forms of
amusement were devoted to practical uses.
what a grand and progressive civilization
this age would have. Science and the use
full arts are struggling in vain endeayor to
progress, while the appliances which
we possess and could be utilized
in their development are wasted
on things of no substantial utility to our
selves or to those who are to come after us.
When we see such universal waste of
means and energy we are almost forced to
the conclusion that civilization is retrograd-
ing. We are drifting backward toward the
civilization of the primitive ages with its
gigantic relics of unenlightened and unre-
Quilted labor when the gorgeous palaces of
BABYLON and the braZen gates of NEBEs
arose in obedience to no requirement. of
benefit to nature, but originated in the vain
conceits of ignorance and which stood as
the shame and not the glory of labor.
The entire problem of human progress is
involved in the relations which exist be-
tween the human mind and the works of
physical creation, Civilization progresses
only when man by the exercise of his phys
ical and intellectual powers finds out the
principles of nature and subjugates them to
his own uses and to the happiness and
glory of the human race. Now that ocean
travel has progressed beyond the era of the
sail boat, what practical benefit can result
from boat racing? This is only one in
stance of wherein we are wasting national
energy. There are thousands of other in
stances where energy is misdirected and
money wasted which if applied in the
proper direction would be of incalcuIable
value in making the conditions of our CIV

Naval Activity.

WASHINGTON, March 2s.-The navy
department is still prosecuting the inquiries
began some time ago relative to the ability
of the railways and canals of the country to
transport boats and naval material from the
sea to inland waters. 1t has been learned
the facilities of the existing railroads are
limited to the ability to transport boats of
an extreme length of ITO feet, while the
Erie canal will permit the passage from the
Atlantic ocean to the lakes of torpedo boats
100 feet in length. AS the torpedo craft is
necessary for the defense of the lake ports
and are not required to be as seaworthy and
as large as those intended for the protection
of the sea coast it is believed that the exist
ing facilities are ample. The fact that these
inquiries by the department were begun
more than a year ago is regarded by naval
officers as sufficient answer to any infer
ence that might be drawn to the effect that
they indicate preparations for struggle
growing out OF the fisheries dispute.

United States Marshal Finds a Lot

ST. LOUIS, March 2S.-Deputy United
States Marshal Wheeler, of ST. Louis, raided
crooks whiskey ranch about two miles
from New Male. Mo-, Yesterday. Peter
Milling, all old offender, 70 years of age. was
arrested, and in false cellar was found
eighty gallons of fine old whisky. He has
been arrested twice before and was released
the first time on the plea OF ignorance of the
law, the second time on failure of evidence
and it looks like death will save him this
time. The tip was given by co-laborer
who asked $4,000 for his pointer,
but who received only enough to draw
the necessary information out of him.
Wheeler visited the old man uneX-

1t must be highly gratifying to the average

came down from his mathematical flights in

such a condescension should be made, and
the lowly and worshiping member must now
feel that his silence during the long days of

aside this humor, there is grave cause to re-

it the masses of the producers will again

WHAT M FaOURENS THINKS.
The French Minister of Foreign Aft
fairs Talks About the Possibility
nS

of War.
PARIS. March 2S.-A sensation has been
caused by the publication of a reported
conversation between Nj. Flourens, French
minister of foreign affairs, and the cor
respondent of the Novoe Vremya. of St.
Petersburg. The story is officially declared
to be incorrect, but little value is attached
to the denial. According to the published
report NJ. FlOurenS said:
entered Office with the full conviction
that the key to the European policy was in
st. Petersburg. While Russia is with us war
with Germany is impossible. Germany, by
the chance of her states disuniting, would
suffer more than any other power by defeat;
therefore she has no course but to live on
good terms with Russia and with US. Russia
came forward for US in moment of danger
and we will not remain with folded arms
should she be endangered. NJ Flourens pro-
fessed that he had little fear of the new alli-
ance of Italy, Austria and Germany. Italy
being mainly naval power Germany and
Austria could give her nothing and she would
have no interest in taking part IN a war
against France. He believed that the Bull
garians or the Turkish government would
expel the regents and Russia would have no
need to interfere in Bulgaria. The situation
there, he thought, was unwarlike. Touching
Frances relations with England, he said no
complications were likely to arise. England
would sooner or later quit Egypt and she
could not dream Of continental conquests.
